Review: I recently purchased the Panasonic PV-GS150 to replace a Hi-8 Sony camcorder that I have owned for about seven years and the image quality during playback was absolutely incredible! I have a 52 inch widescreen projection TV and the colors and image ...

Pros: light and compact, vivid color (3CCD), easy to use, ability to add filters & lenses

Review: The Panasonic PV-GS150 is my first digital camcorder. I had a friend mention the Panasonic line of 3CCD cams when I mentioned I was looking. After reading numerous reviews, comments, and ratings, I finally went with the 150. I have been using it for ...

Pros: Video quality, sound quality, and low light performance

Cons: None. Does what it suppose to do, within reason.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommend

Review: I've been following this technology for several years watching for the quality and reliability of these units to improve to a better than satisfactory level; price also needed to come down. I've used camcorders in the past by borrowing friends units and ...

Cons: lightweight - can be difficult to eliminate shakes.

The Bottom Line: Excellent near-broadcast quality performance at a friendly price-point!

Review: I was really intrigued when these 3CCD camcorders hit the market in 2004. I waited a while to get one until there was somewhat of a track record. I wanted to get a good model for the price that would easily allow me to do non-linear editing in iMovie ...

Cons: The manual focus adjustment is difficult to control

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want to take great home videos without too much of a hazzle.

Cons: No optical stabilization. Decent still picture.

The Bottom Line: Nice, compact plus 3CCD technology where consumers can get out of the most professional camcorders.

Review: I bought this camcorder to replace my outdated 8 year olds Hi-8 Sony. I have read several expert and consumer reviews from different websites. I finally selected this camcorder due to its low price offered only two weeks by Sixth Ave Eletronics ...

Pros: highest quality image of its price range, 3ccd, wide screen function, small size, cool desgin,

Cons: the autofocus function no longer works properly, widescreen format does not work in editing programs

Review: This is an excellent camera for the price. The three CCDs really made a difference in image quality. Its ridiculously small, and has a much better image than its Sony counterparts. However, its seems to be a little fragile. The battery is also ...

Pros: Small size, good color in bright light, lots of bells and whistles, built-in lens cover.

Cons: Buttons placement, questionable low-light capability, lack of SD card, navigating features is a chore.

Review: I had an older Canon Optura whose DV port no longer functioned and needed a replacement. The Panasonic PV-GS150 was the choice because the reviews and research had tagged it as a solid pick and I liked the idea of the 3 CCD chip camera. ...
